Tickling Your Tear Ducts! A Collection of Emotional & Warming K-pop Tearjerkers (11–20)
Somebody NewSUPER JUNIOR
A mid-tempo track included on the 2019 album Time Slip.
The members filmed the MV themselves, and through the song you can feel scenes from their everyday lives and their attitude toward music—it really hits home.
Their disciplined, professional appeal is cool, of course, but this kind of approachable side of the Super Junior members is wonderful too, isn’t it?
All For You이수현x헨리x크러쉬x정승환
It was performed on a show called “Begin Again Korea,” where famous musicians travel to different places and hold busking-style live performances.
Until now, the show had been set overseas, but this was the first song of Season 4, which aims to comfort Korean citizens facing difficulties due to the coronavirus.
Seeing talented musicians like AKMU’s Lee Su-hyun, Crush, Henry, and Jeong Seung-hwan look at each other and create music is both deeply moving and absolutely heart-fluttering! There are also skits with occasional comedic moments that make you chuckle and lift your spirits, leaving you feeling truly happy as you watch.
왜요 (WAYO)BANG YE DAM (Ban Iedamu)
This is a solo track released by Bang Yedam from TREASURE, a boy group that debuted in July 2020 and includes four Japanese members.
It’s a poignant number about time standing still after losing someone important, sung gently and with restraint.
There’s also a version he sings together with his group members Jihoon, Junkyu, Mashiho, and Park Jeongwoo, which is truly moving.
The aching feeling of wondering “Why couldn’t it work?” pairs perfectly with their beautiful vocals, amplifying the sense of melancholy.
The collaboration version with AKMU’s Lee Suhyun is wonderful as well—highly recommended!
Remember me(기억하나요 내 모든 날과 그때를)GUMMY(거미)
This is the Part 7 OST song from the 2019 hit drama “Hotel Del Luna.” The lineup of artists singing on the OST is unbelievably star-studded.
“Remember Me” is an emotionally moving, wonderful track by Komi, who is known as the queen of ballads for her overwhelming vocal prowess.
Carried by a gently sad melody, it portrays the romantic feelings of Man-wol, played by IU.
The earnest emotions quietly resonate and are so touching they bring tears to your eyes.
Why do pure feelings strike the heart so deeply…?
Don’t Wanna CrySEVENTEEN
If you’re looking for an emotional EDM track, we recommend “Don’t Wanna Cry.” This song by SEVENTEEN, a 13-member male idol group from South Korea, is a refreshing EDM number.
It gradually builds from a mysterious-sounding intro, and the chorus explodes with energy.
Amazing YouHan Dong Geun
It’s a moving song with a warm vibe, isn’t it? “Amazing You” is sung by the Korean singer Han Dong Geun.
The lyrics are a love song about how “meeting you makes me feel spoiled/luxurious,” which matches the beautiful sound perfectly.
The music video, which uses lots of summer imagery, has a nostalgic feel and is perfect for relaxing.

Me After You(너를 만나)Paul Kim(폴킴)
Paul Kim’s signature song released in 2018.
In Korea, it’s also beloved as a popular wedding song.
It tells the story of how meeting a wonderful person changed him, and together with Paul Kim’s warm, beautiful voice, it overflows with emotion.
If you’ve ever had your life take a turn for the better after meeting someone, you might find yourself especially moved.
Though the melody has a touch of melancholy, it’s a heartfelt song that makes you feel gentle and inspires you to share a little of what’s in your heart.
